Mercy Street

Nicole Dollanganger

Compositor: Peter Gabriel

Looking down on empty streets
All she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams all made real

All of the buildings, all of those cars
Were once just a dream
In somebody's head

She pictures the broken glass
She pictures the steam
She pictures a soul
With no leak at the seam

Lets take the boat out
Wait until darkness
Let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness comes

Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
Nowhere in the suburbs
In the cold light of day
There in the midst of it so alive and alone
Words support like bone

Dreaming of Mercy St
Wear your inside out
Dreaming of Mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy St
Swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of Mercy
